Com 99% of the area collected, the data released by the National Supply Company (Conab) represents an increase of 19.6% compared to 2025.
The result, according to Conab, is attributed to the positive bienality of the crop, to the increase of 5.1% of the area in production, to 1.95 million hectares, and to the growth of 13.8% of the average productivity, which increased from 30.4 to 34.6 bags per hectare.
In the statement, Conab states that Arabica coffee, which represents about 70% of Brazil's national production, should reach 48.2 million sacks, an increase of 34.8% compared to 2025.
The production of conilon coffee is estimated at 19.4 million sacks, less 6.6% than in the previous year.
Minas Gerais, the main producer state, should reap 34.96 million sacks of Arabica, “beneficiated by the cycle of positive bienality” and by favorable climatic conditions, while São Paulo should produce 6.19 million sacks of the same variety.
In Espírito Santo, the main Brazilian producer of conilon, total production should fall 5.4%, to 16.48 million sacks, mainly due to the fall of 14.3% in conilon, affected by low temperatures and irregular flowering.
In exports, Brazil sent 3.8 million bags of coffee abroad in August, 43.2% more than in the same month of 2025, although the accumulated from January to August has retreated 6.6%, to 24.6 million sacks.
Conab is a public company linked to the Brazilian federal government responsible for caring for agricultural policy, food prices and food security in the country, as well as for controlling stocks and surveying the Brazilian crop.
